FM26 Has Been Updated
FM26 was just updated on March 30th which will have broken many skins so you may have to wait for the author to update this file.
This is a generic message applied to all FM26 Skins, check the comments for more accurate information.
This is the first customized theme/skin for Football Manager 26. Say goodbye to the majority of the game’s purple and blue colors. I have also included a new background and new golden UI highlight colors.
Versions and Optional Files:
- MAC COMPUTERS: With the help of GlasgowAirport, who plays the game on a Mac computer, we achieved to make the files not crash the game when played on Macs. You only just have to select the files that's inside the folder "Mac Version". What we did was, that he send me the files of the game on a Mac computer (that are slightly different than a Windows computer) and I remade the skin using these files for all of you that are playing on a Mac.
- BACKGROUNDS: Unfortunately, due to the way this year’s game works, we can’t have different backgrounds per screen. However, the game does use different backgrounds for licensed competitions (Premier League, EFL competitions, Bundesliga, UEFA competitions, etc.), which appear before matches in those competitions. If you want to see only the main background I’ve chosen, or you prefer to keep dynamic backgrounds only for UEFA competitions, I’ve included some optional files you can use.
Disclaimer:
- At the moment, this year’s themes/skins are created differently from previous versions, and we cannot modify or interfere with the UI. Therefore, I cannot accept requests to change specific elements of it.
- Additionally, because the game is frequently updated and these updates often affect the files we use, there will be regular updates to this theme/skin. On top of that, we’re constantly experimenting to discover how to change and improve more aspects of the game’s visuals.
- If you already have my theme/skin and want to install a newer version, sometimes cached files can cause issues. Please first Verify Files from Steam by right-clicking the game → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files, restart Steam or even your computer and then install the new version of my theme/skin.

There are currently errors. Some buttons cannot be clicked. For example, I cannot exit the game, I cannot send soccer jersey numbers, and many other things. Unfortunately, I have to switch to another skin.

Hi Alex,
Looks like SI have released a new update 26.1.3 - I’m guessing this skin will need to be updated again? Sorry for the trouble - you are literally a Life saver - without your skin I would not play this game anymore
alexmorakgaming
Yes, I'll need to update it. Give me some days, although.

Please guys make a little patience. It takes me about 2 hours to update it but these days I don't have this time. Probably next week I'll update it. Thank you!

Hey Alex, sorry but any update?
Arvid01
I really hope there will be an update to the latest version. In my opinion, it's the best skin.

AlexMorak FM26 Theme/Skin v0.9 - Windows and MacOS Versions - Works with hotfix 26.1.3
DISCLAIMER:
Since I’m not playing Football Manager that much during this period, as I’m expecting my first child, I can’t release a skin update immediately every time a new game update comes out and breaks it.
Also, because of this special time in my life, I’m not able to learn and properly use the FM Skin Builder, which would save me a huge amount of time when updating the skin and adding new features, such as UI changes. My available time is very limited, so I can’t dedicate the effort needed to learn it right now, and I apologize that I’m currently only able to offer something as simple as color changes.
If anyone knows how to use the FM Skin Builder, appreciates my work, and would like to help — or even take the lead on making UI changes — you’re more than welcome to send me a message so we can discuss it and move forward together.

Thanks for taking your time to update this Alex.
Congrats on your first child! I also became a new father last year so I completely understand your circumstance.
Unfortunately, I am not well versed with the FM Skin Builder so would appreciate if someone in the community could volunteer in supporting Alex with the skin.

Hi mate, we need an update for this one if possible please.
